So, as a show of respect for the union workers currently engaged in a labor dispute at America's Center in St. Louis, the Missouri Democratic Party has made the decision to change the location of its annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.
The Jefferson-Jackson Dinner will now be held at the Renaissance Grand Hotel in St. Louis -- just across the street. The date (April 5) and the time (5 p.m. reception/6:30 p.m. dinner) will remain the same.
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, but we will never waver in our commitment to Missouri's working men and women.
If you have not yet reserved your ticket, it's not too late. Please see the updated invitation below.

UAW Endorses Sam Page for Lt. Governor
FENTON, Mo. -- At a United Auto Workers (UAW) Retirees Meeting here today, it was announced that State Representative Sam Page is Missouri UAW's endorsement for Lt. Governor.
Glenn Kage, Financial Secretary for UAW Local 136, called Page "... a true friend of the people who works to expand health care coverage for working families in the State of Missouri. He avoids partisan bickering and is respected on both sides of the aisle, but when needed, Page fights for what he believes in, like affordable health care."
"The UAW is proud to endorse Dr. Page for Lt. Governor," continued Kage. "He has the energy, the expertise and the commitment to healthcare that Missouri needs. Sam and his wife Jenny have three children and as a family man he brings his own understanding to the problems of Missouri's families. UAW members and retirees across the state will work tirelessly to ensure his election to the Lt. Governor's Office."
"The UAW has a track record," said Page, "of endorsing few candidates, but working relentlessly for those that they endorse. I'm proud to share their commitment to family values and their commitment to access for affordable healthcare for all Missourians."
Representative Sam Page was first elected to the Missouri House in 2002. Before that he was elected for two terms to the Creve Coeur City council. A Medical Doctor, he earned his degrees at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He is married to a fellow physician. Two of their three children attend public school in the neighborhood; Jake, the youngest will in time join them.
Page seeks the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor. The office is currently held by Peter Kinder, Republican. Kinder abandoned the office to run for governor when Blunt announced he was not seeking reelection. His party leadership told Kinder they had other plans for the office. Kinder is again running for re-election.
Help us celebrate this important endorsement by making a contribution to Sam's campaign today!

Sam PageDemocratic Candidate for Lieutenant Governor
Today - early this morning - I left for Jefferson City. On arriving at the Secretary of State's office, I officially filed for the office of Lieutenant Governor at 8:00 a.m. today when filing opened. At 5:00 p.m., on March 25th, filing will close.
I have spent the last 12 months making new friends across Missouri, so you might say I have been campaigning for a year. In reality today the starter's pistol is fired. The race is now on for real. I am now a candidate for Lt. Governor.
My opponent, the incumbent Lt. Governor, Peter Kinder, decided to run for Governor and so left the office open, but then the heads of his party informed him that they had other plans for the Governor's office. Peter is now back and running for reelection for his present office, Lt. Governor.
Peter is a first class campaigner and - more to my detriment - a first class fund raiser. Unlike his party's leaders, I respect him as an opponent and I respect him as a campaigner. I do not respect his handling of the office. I'll speak to that in the General Election. What I will say now is that it is time to raise some real money for the coming TV, Radio, Newspaper Ads, Signs, and Direct Mail. Will you help me?
The maximum contribution allowed has been raised from $1275 and is now $1350. I will need many maximums to generate a million-dollar campaign budget. But I appreciate that each must contribute to their ability. I understand that.
Please do what you can. I do need your help.

With this blog the 100,000 point level has been broken, and even though the points do not covert to cash they do show how much work you can do. If I the dial up boy can top 100,000 point level in six months then I know everyone else can do it too, so the more all of you use this website the more our right to freedom of speech is exercised. Please contribute your efforts as much as possible here, and rock n’ roll this country back to a democracy that we can all be truly proud to say is the best.
From my understanding there is a need for poll watchers needed for the polls on 02-05-08, and if you are interested you need to contact either me to pass it on to the person that got me into it here in Missouri, or you should contact someone locally ASAP. I do not know which states are in need of poll watchers, or exactly which polling places need them, but I will post a list of states below that are voting on 02-05-08.
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah
Just look back over the last twenty years there has never been a single month with deflation, and millions of Americans do not make a penny more in wages really.
